Anchor Down: The Cost of Surgical Anchors
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.55576/job.v3i2.29Keywords:
Anchor, Cost, Surgical CostAbstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to quantify individual surgical anchor cost based on currently published literature.
Design: Systematic literature review.
Main outcome measurement: Surgical Anchor Cost
Results: Pubmed search produced 297 articles regarding “anchor AND cost OR value” of which 7 had novel estimates for cost of a surgical anchor. The estimate for surgical anchor cost was found to be $578 ± $220.
Conclusion: Data extrapolated in this systematic review showed anchor cost to be $578 on average with a standard deviation of $220. With the paucity of data and heterogeneity of values analyzed in this report, this value cannot be used as a truly reliable estimate for cost. Continuing research into the costs of medical implants and equipment is imperative as the industry only continues to grow.
Level of Evidence: IV; Systematic Review of level IV or higher evidence
Keywords: Business, management, human resources, cost, value, efficiency.
